#VegasNYE: Highways are not a good place to be, if you plan to travel New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — If you’re planning to travel on New Year’s Eve or even New Year’s Day the chances of getting in a crash sometime today or tomorrow in the Las Vegas valley are high. An average of one crash every hour on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1 is the norm.

And that’s just on highways.

While folks celebrate the New Year in Las Vegas, every State Trooper will be working on our roadways tonight. If you plan on celebrating, please do so responsibly, have a plan for a safe, sober ride home. Report impaired drivers by calling 911 or *NHP. #drivesober#nhpsocommpic.twitter.com/frMuvoIwzi

Hey all you mountain bound motorists. Expect major delays today and tomorrow on all mountain routes. BRING THOSE CHAINS. Be patient and ready for the long haul. I’ll say it once-FULL TANK OF GAS! pic.twitter.com/2ptb7rFaSm
